The photographer Henry Jacobson’s upcoming book, “Postcards Home,” is a collection of iPhone pictures from his travels around the world in the past three years. With the iPhone, Jacobson explains, “I found liberation from the limitations of the camera. I realized that the best work I was doing was not trying to replicate what I did with other cameras. I embraced the pixel, the soft quality. The pictures felt more like paintings, reminiscent of Expressionism and of the pictorialist photographers, even though they were shot on the fly, in the tradition of handheld, 35-mm. documentary photography.”
